About Field Names

Professional

A field name is a name used to identify each field.

In this product, except for radio buttons, field names must be unique to be registered.

Initial Value of Field Names

When using SkyPDF FormDesigner, normally, the initial values of field names are added in the order of “Field1”, “Field2”, “Field3”,….

Only in the case of radio buttons, if you add them consecutively, the initial value will be the same.

Checking and Changing Field Names

Field names can be changed from the right-click menu’s [名前を変更] of the field in the field panel, the [F2] key, the [一般] tab in the property pane, etc.

This product, including SkyPDF FormDesigner, does not support the display and editing of form PDFs with the same field name, except for radio buttons that can be grouped.

If there is a field with the same name in the PDF, an error message saying “同じ名前のフィールドが既にあります.” will be displayed and the change will be invalid.

In tools from other companies that can create fields with the same name, there may be cases where the end of the same field name is automatically assigned a serial number such as “#1” “#2” to identify it.
However, since the actual field name on the PDF remains the same, these fields cannot be displayed or edited with this product, including this tool.

Grouping Fields

In this product, as a rule, field names must be unique to be registered.

However, if they are radio buttons, they can have the same name.

Radio buttons with the same name are grouped. When grouped, only one of the fields in the group can be enabled.

In the field panel, the export value of the property is displayed under the field name.

You cannot register the same export value value within the same group.

The initial values are “アイテム1”, “アイテム2”, “アイテム3”,….
